Pte Thomas Rendall, Scots Guards: Medical Abbreviations

Recommended Posts

In the soldier's record of Thomas Rendall their are two medical abbreviations which I can't decode:

 

J.C.F. r (or I.C.F. r) later when he was in hospital it appears as Inflamed Foot Right.

D.A.H. - about a month after having 'flu.

 

Can anyone explain them, please?

Thank you.

Wiki suggests Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (bleeding in the lungs) for DAH but I think Craig is more likely to be correct.

Could it be ICT - Inflammation of the Connective Tissue

 

DAH - Disordered Action of the Heart

Many thanks!

Both of those are very interesting.

 

Following the Inflammation of the right foot for which he was invalided to the UK and was in hospital in Dundee, he seems to have been sent to Brechin Infirmary (to recuperate?). However while there he was diagnosed with angina pectoris and then cardiac neurosis(?). He was returned to service about three weeks after these diagnoses. The D.A.H. was about ten months earlier.
